So I decided doing and all-american post with (slangish) expressions used in the states! Here we go :
- - to push off = to leave
- I am going to push off now.
- - put the moves on = seduce
- If you like her, put the moves on her!
- - rack = bed
- I have to hit the rack by ten or I'll be tired in the morning.
- - to rack out = to sleep
- - grubby = dirty/untidy
- Those clothes are too grubby to wear to the party.
- -hairy = dangerous (I particularly like this one)
- That was a hairy plane trip. I am glad the storm is over.
- -hang loose = relax
- Just hang loose for another few days.
- -have good vibes = feel good about (this one must be my father fav)
- I have good vibes about our new secretary.
- -to not have it all together = to not feel mentally all there
Gut = stomack but in the expressions "to have guts" "it takes guts" it means courage and if you say the "GUT issue" = the basic issue
- -ditch = leave, skip clases
- I'll ditch my younger brother with my grandmother.
- -flaky = unreliable
- He is too flaky to do the work.
the boonies are places in the middle of nowhere, in the wilderness
I lived in the boonies in France
Well well I think I'm going hang loose taking a nice shower and reading a good book before I rack out! Tomorrow is a big day and although it will be tiring and have good vibes about it!
I hope I'll be less flaky with V'sT but I can't promise anything!

Hey, nice post!
Interesting, I had always used hairy thinking it meant a complicated or delicate subject, as in “Telling someone they're fired is oftentimes hairy.” But now I see I got it wrong from the beginning. Thanks!
And, funnily enough, I even wrote the expression “have good vibes” (from vibrations, right?) this week on chat, but erased it because I wasn't sure about it... small world!
Now, let me push off and put these expressions to some good use!
One last thing: missed you around here!
